How many survivors are in Forsaken? 13 playable survivors make up the main roster since Helperbot (a Support) joined as the 13th on 16 October 2026, and every round puts one killer against everyone else in the match, which in a full 9-player server means up to 8 survivors at once. Those two numbers answer different questions, so this page keeps them apart. Thirteen is the roster: the characters you can unlock and pick, as listed on the Official Forsaken Wiki's Characters page in October 2026 (https://forsaken.wiki/Characters). It became thirteen on 16 October 2026, when Helperbot, a Support with 80 HP, was released in update 5.3.0 (wiki Helperbot page, read 17 October 2026). Up to eight is the round: Forsaken servers hold 9 players according to the game's Roblox listing, the player with the most Malice becomes the single killer, and the rest play survivor. Of the thirteen, three are free from the start, one is unlocked through a quest instead of the shop, eight cost Player Points, and the wiki lists no price for Helperbot. Below, the roster is grouped by the wiki's three survivor classes with each character's listed health, cost and job, followed by what it costs to own the main roster, how the in-round count actually works, and the six Exclusive survivors plus the upcoming characters that make other pages quote bigger numbers.

Sentinels: the five survivors who fight back

Sentinels share the top spot on the 13-survivor main roster with five; Supports drew level at five when Helperbot joined on 16 October 2026. Their abilities hit, stun or otherwise interfere with the killer directly, which buys time for the rest of the team. The wiki also documents a team-level rule that matters when you count survivors: Sentinel Stacking adds 3 seconds of stun immunity to the killer after each stun for every Sentinel alive in the match. Two Sentinels in a lobby means the killer shrugs off follow-up stuns for longer than one would, so a team of five Sentinels is not five times as disruptive. Health, cost and difficulty below are the infobox values on each character's wiki page (difficulty is the wiki's 1-to-5 rating).

The five Sentinels

•Shedletsky: 100 HP, free starter, difficulty 2. Uses Slash to stun the killer and stall for time.
•Guest 1337: 110 HP, the highest listed on the roster, 500 Player Points, difficulty 4. Keeps the killer at bay with Block, Charge and Punch.
•Two Time: 80 HP on the first life and 50 on the second (110 in a full-Oblation Last Man Standing), 500 Player Points, difficulty 4. Backstabs with Sacrificial Dagger to stun the killer and fill the Oblation bar; a full bar grants a second life at the Ritual point.
•Jane Doe: 60 HP, unlocked by completing her quests after talking to her in the Cabin basement, difficulty 3. Builds status effects on the killer with Crystal Pitch, then stuns and heals with Hatchet. She also carries Shatterpoint HP, which starts at 20 and caps at 30.
•Chance: listed at 58 to 130 HP, 777 Player Points. Gambles with Coin Flip to help himself or interrupt the killer. He is the only character whose difficulty is shown as gambling-machine icons instead of a 1-to-5 number.

Supports: the survivors who keep the team alive

Five survivors on the main roster are Supports, Helperbot having joined them on 16 October 2026. Instead of fighting the killer head-on, they heal, shield or slow the killer down for other players. That makes the value of a Support grow with the number of teammates around them, which is one reason the per-round survivor count matters more than people expect: a healer in a full lobby has more people to keep alive than a healer in a nearly empty one.

The Supports

•Elliot: 80 HP, free starter, difficulty 2. Heals and assists teammates quickly with Pizza Throw and Rush Hour.
•Builderman: 90 HP, 500 Player Points, difficulty 3. Places Sentries to defend and slow the killer, and builds Dispensers to help teammates.
•Taph: 100 HP, 600 Player Points, difficulty 2. Uses Tripwire and Tripmines to slow the killer and stall for time.
•Dusekkar: 90 HP, 600 Player Points, difficulty 5, the highest rating of any survivor. Protects other survivors with Spawn Protection buffs and slows the killer with Plasma Beam.
•Helperbot: 80 HP, 650 Player Points, difficulty 2; joined 16 October 2026 in update 5.3.0. Radar reveals unfinished generators and items to all Survivors, Pulse grants Regeneration and Resistance, and Inspire gives nearby Survivors Haste V. Full guide: /blog/helperbot-forsaken.

Survivalists: the three survivors who look after themselves

Survivalists are the smallest class, with three survivors. Their kits are about personal escape: confusing the killer, getting speed or toughness at the right moment, and staying alive long enough to run the clock down. All three have 100 HP. Like every survivor in the game, they share the same movement stats (walk speed 12, run speed 26, 100 stamina), so the difference between them is entirely in their abilities. The full speed and stamina breakdown is on /blog/forsaken-survivor-speeds-stats-ranked-2026.

The three Survivalists

•Noob: 100 HP, free starter, difficulty 3. Evades the killer and gets out of trouble with Slateskin and Bloxy Cola.
•007n7: 100 HP, 500 Player Points, difficulty 4. Uses Clone to confuse the killer, with c00lgui and Inject to help him escape.
•Veeronica: 100 HP, 750 Player Points, difficulty 3. Knocks the killer back with VANDALISM, moves quickly with Sk8, and can heal herself.

Free vs paid survivors: what the main roster costs in Player Points

Player Points are the shop currency, earned only in public servers (the wiki is explicit that private servers pay nothing). Costs are the wiki infobox values; the subtotals and the overall total are our own arithmetic from those values.

How you get it	Survivors	Cost each	Subtotal
Free from the start	Shedletsky, Elliot, Noob	Free	0
Quest unlock	Jane Doe	No shop price (Cabin basement quests)	0
Shop, 500 tier	007n7, Two Time, Guest 1337, Builderman	500	4 × 500 = 2,000
Shop, 600 tier	Taph, Dusekkar	600	2 × 600 = 1,200
Shop	Helperbot	650	650
Shop	Veeronica	750	750
Shop	Chance	777	777
Every paid survivor	9 survivors		2,000 + 1,200 + 650 + 750 + 777 = 5,377

Source: Official Forsaken Wiki character infoboxes and Player Points page, October 2026. Owning the main-roster survivors costs 5,377 Player Points plus Jane Doe's quest, including Helperbot (650), who joined on 16 October 2026. The survive-to-the-end reward is +25 per round, so the survival bonus alone would take 216 rounds (5,377 ÷ 25 = 215.08); the payouts for generator puzzles (whose amount the wiki's pages currently disagree on), for dying after 60 seconds (+10) and the per-character ability rewards on the wiki's Player Points page shorten that.

How many survivors are in a round

A round always has exactly one killer and everyone else plays survivor, so the number of survivors you face or play beside is set by how many people are in the server. The game's Roblox listing caps a server at 9 players (read October 2026), which makes a full round one killer against eight survivors. The Official Forsaken Wiki does not publish a fixed survivors-per-round figure, and you will see "four" repeated on other sites, but the wiki itself shows rounds running with more than four: Noli's "Happy Feet" achievement asks you to hit 5 or more survivors with a single Void Rush, which would be impossible in a four-survivor round.

Who becomes the killer

According to the wiki's Game Mechanics page, the player with the highest Malice is selected as the killer when the round loads, and a cutscene shows which player it is and which killer (or skin) they picked. Everyone else enters as the survivor they have equipped. Players with AFK Mode switched on in Settings do not enter matches at all, so a 9-player server with two AFK players runs a round of one killer and six survivors.

The same survivor can appear more than once

Nothing on the wiki limits a round to one copy of each survivor. Jane Doe's page describes a rule that changes "for every additional Jane Doe alive", and Sentinel Stacking counts "each Sentinel alive", both of which only make sense if duplicates and mixed teams are normal. So the roster count (13 since Helperbot joined on 16 October 2026) is the size of the menu, not a cap on who can be in the match together.

When the count drops to one: Last Man Standing

Survivors win by outlasting the round timer, which the wiki's Game Mechanics page sets by player count — 3:00 with four or fewer players, 3:30 with five, 4:00 with six or more — and which shrinks by 2.4 seconds for every generator puzzle they finish and grows by 40 seconds for every kill. When only one survivor is left, Last Man Standing begins: the timer is set to 1:14, the music changes, and the survivor and killer are highlighted to each other for 6 seconds, then for 3 seconds every 10 seconds. Six survivors also have a special Last Man Standing against a specific killer, with a longer timer.

•007n7 vs c00lkidd, "Plead": 1:28
•Guest 1337 vs Slasher, "Survival For The Fittest": 1:25
•Shedletsky vs 1x1x1x1, "Creation of Hatred": 1:31
•Two Time vs Azure, "And The Seraphim Wept": 1:32
•Noob vs Guest 666, "Dead Ringer": 1:34
•Jane Doe vs John Doe, "You and I": 1:39

A mode with more of everything

The wiki lists Double Trouble as an upcoming gamemode in which survivors face two killers instead of one, with an increase in survivor numbers as well. It has been play-tested but is not live, and the wiki gives no player counts for it yet, so treat any specific number you see for it as a guess.

Exclusive, event and upcoming survivors

If you have seen a survivor count well above thirteen, it almost always comes from adding characters you cannot unlock through normal play. The Official Forsaken Wiki's Characters page separates them clearly, and as of October 2026 it has no separate event or collaboration survivor section: the extra names are the Exclusive survivors and the upcoming characters.

The six Exclusive survivors

The wiki defines Exclusive characters as classes only playable by the development team and contributors, many of them deliberately gimmicky and unbalanced and not intended for public servers. Several can be played in private servers by owners of the VIP gamepass. Because private servers pay no Player Points, none of them affect the shop totals above.

•Noob: The World
•Martial Artist
•SWAT Officer (also used by the command-panel Extermination mode, where every survivor spawns as a SWAT Officer with a gun)
•The Poisoned
•The Kid
•The Corrupt

The Ringmaster, still without a date

The Ringmaster is listed on the wiki as a potential survivor planned for the next major update, "Leader of Lies", alongside the killer The Stalker. The infobox gives the playstyle as Sentinel/Support/Survivalist, matching an early tease of an all-rounder who could defend, attack and support, but the wiki says the exact abilities are unknown and lists no HP, cost or difficulty yet. The wiki also notes the character existed before release at 500 in the shop with no abilities and a placeholder model, and was removed at launch. Helperbot was released on 16 October 2026, so if The Ringmaster ships next he becomes the 14th survivor on the main roster. Details: https://forsaken.wiki/The_Ringmaster.

Putting the numbers together

Thirteen on the main roster (Helperbot joined on 16 October 2026), six Exclusive and The Ringmaster still upcoming: that is 20 survivor names in total, which is where the larger figures come from. For choosing who to play and who is strongest, only the main roster matters. Our survivor hub at /forsaken-survivors has a full guide for each of them, /blog/forsaken-survivors-list-2026 covers the roster in release order, and /forsaken-tier-list ranks them.

Survivor count FAQ

Short answers to the questions that usually come with this search, all checked against the Official Forsaken Wiki in October 2026. More guides are on the homepage at /.

How many survivors and killers are in Forsaken?

Thirteen survivors and eight killers on the main roster; Helperbot joined as the 13th survivor on 16 October 2026. The killers are c00lkidd, Slasher, John Doe, Noli, 1x1x1x1, Guest 666, Nosferatu and Azure. In a round it is always one killer against all the other players in the server, up to eight survivors.

Which survivors are free in Forsaken?

Shedletsky (Sentinel), Elliot (Support) and Noob (Survivalist) are free, one from each class. Jane Doe costs nothing in Player Points but has to be unlocked through her quests, starting in the Cabin basement.

Which survivor costs the most?

Chance, at 777 Player Points, followed by Veeronica at 750 and Helperbot at 650. The cheapest paid survivors are 007n7, Two Time, Guest 1337 and Builderman at 500 each.

Are there only 4 survivors in a Forsaken round?

No. A round has one killer and every other player in the server as a survivor, and servers hold up to 9 players, so a full round has eight survivors. The wiki's Noli achievement for hitting 5 or more survivors with one Void Rush confirms that rounds run with more than four.
